Take Your Pick- More Downward Drift or Disruption?

Anyone watching the news lately might believe that America's
political candidates have lost their senses. Hardly a day goes by without the
talking heads on TV reporting that one of the candidates said something simply
awful-and then suggesting that the indiscreet candidate should just drop out of the
race. But what's wrong with speaking the truth, unvarnished, and disrupting the
power brokers in Washington?

I understand that in these days of stifling political
correctness you have to guard your tongue carefully. It is difficult to voice an
opinion without being charged you're sexist, or racist,
or anti-this-or-anti-that! Our president won't even refer to the terrorists
killers as radical Muslims. Some of this Orwellian fear of mere words comes from
our Leftist elites who tell us our country stinks and all religions and cultures
are equally praiseworthy-therefore you cannot criticize Honor Killings, throat
slitting, sacred cows, or illegal immigrants. And you have to love diversity and
immigrants no matter how awful some of the diverse elements may be!

Any candidate who says it like it is and decries the
corruption and compromise that has soiled out nation's capitol is labeled
"disruptive" and "divisive." The establishment figures who rule Washington and
our media do not want any "disruption" of their cozy posts.

But with America in the doldrums, impotent abroad, broke at
home, stuck in partisan gridlock, and the Middle Class suffering from declining
income, isn't it time someone was disruptive? If we keep sending back cautious
and compromising characters to Washington will anything get fixed? Won't that
just continue the downward "drift" of our fortunes? Isn't it about time we
disrupted this incompetent mess that holds our nation in a
death-grip? You have to break some eggs to make an omelette!
